The sport of wrestling is all good. No bad. The fear of a tough practice is only good. The fear of a tough opponent is good. The fear of not being good enough is good. Why?

All the while, knowing the pain, discipline, and commitment will suck everything out of you for the next four months. It’s the journey that draws us to the sport, the four months, the early-morn ing bus rides, and the late night tournaments, being on the road for sixteen of the eighteen weekends throughout the holidays, the aches and pains that many can’t comprehend.
